Secondhand Serenade is a one man band from Menlo Park, California. John Vesely, 30, sings and plays guitar and piano. His music is characterized by multitrack recording so he can create the sound of a band by himself. He uses multitrack recording to create vocal harmonies, and a lead acoustic guitar over strummed chords.
After the breakup of Sounds Like Life, featuring himself and Ronnie Day, Vesely started writing and performing his songs solo under the name Secondhand Serenade.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
ok so no one has even gotten close to tabbing this right.
its tuned down but it sounds just as good if you dont un-tune your guitar. so today we will leave the guitar as it is.
the chords are...
E, A, C#, B
played like this...
e 0 0 0 0 B 0 0 0 0 G 1 2 6 4 D 2 2 6 4 A 2 0 4 2 E 0 0 0 0
The intro is just picking the first two notes of each chords then hitting the e & B string.
EAC#B When you try your best but you don't succeed EAC#B When you get what you want but not what you need EAC#B When you feel so tired but you can't sleep EAC#B Stuck in reverse.
EAC#B And the tears come streaming down your face EAC#B When you lose something you can't replace EAC#B When you love someone but it goes to waste EAC#B Could it be worse?
strum the chorus but only faintly.
AB Lights will guide you home AB And ignite your bones AB And I will try to fix you
then pick the intro again...
EAC#B x2
now its strumming.
EAC#B And high up above or down below EAC#B When you're too in love to let it go EAC#B But if you never try you'll never know EAC#B Just what you're worth
AB Lights will guide you home AB And ignite your bones AB And I will try to fix you
now its continueous strumming..
EAEB C#AEB
EA Tears stream, down your face EB When you lose something you cannot replace C#AEB Tears stream, down your face and I... Ohhh
EA Tears stream, down your face EB When you lose something you cannot replace C#AEB Tears stream, down your face and I... Ohhh
EA Tears stream, down on your face EB I promise you I will learn from my mistakes C#AEB Tears stream, down your face and I... Ohhh
AB Lights will guide you home AB And ignite your bones ABE And I will try to fix you.
